Prescription Drugs

A crewmember may work while taking prescription or over‐the‐counter drugs as long as the job can be performed in a manner that will not compromise personal safety or the safety of others. A crewmember using prescription or over‐the‐counter drugs must assume responsibility that the drugs are taken in accordance with the prescriptions or directions provided for the drug. Crewmembers who are under the influence of prescription or over‐the‐counter drugs must immediately inform a Supervisor if they feel they are unable to perform their assigned duties in a safe manner. In the event you have to take prescription medications when on board, including oral contraceptives, you must ensure to bring sufficient supplies to cover the entire length of the contract.

Every crewmember shall report any and all prescription medications, vitamin supplements, over-the-counter drugs and natural supplements they are currently taking and have brought onboard on the form provided during their sign-on. Any medication prescribed by a Doctor must be accompanied with a valid prescription. Random drug tests and cabin inspections will be administered throughout your contract. You will be responsible for any medications/supplements found that have not been declared; in which case, disciplinary action will be taken. Please remember to update this form throughout your contract if anything changes.
